SafeGuest, the trusted safety platform for hosts and property managers in the short-term rental market, has introduced a free Guest Risk Assessment Tool designed to help hosts identify potentially risky bookings instantly and act accordingly.
Leveraging a sophisticated mix of biometric ID verification, behavioural analysis, and transaction validation, the tool categorises each booking into Green, Yellow, or Red risk levels, providing hosts with a clear safety indication — all at no extra cost.
“For too long, hosts have had to cross their fingers and hope for the best,” said Harry Birks, Founder of SafeGuest. “We’re changing that. Now, any host can know within seconds whether a booking looks safe — and we’ve made it completely free.”
Fully integrated with leading property management systems such as Guesty and Hostfully, the tool fits seamlessly into hosts’ existing workflows. It utilises data gathered during SafeGuest’s extensive verification processes, which include biometric identity checks, payment validations, and behavioural insights.
Free Protection That Prevents Problems
The short-let industry continues to face issues like unauthorised parties, fraudulent bookings, and property damage. SafeGuest’s proactive risk scoring aims to reduce these risks and provide peace of mind. To date, the platform has completed over 100,000 guest verifications worldwide, helping hosts avoid costly incidents.
“We’ve had guests who looked fine on the surface, but SafeGuest flagged them as a high risk. It saved us a nightmare,” said Dee Prior, a Berkshire-based Airbnb superhost.
Alongside the risk scoring, hosts can choose between a refundable damage deposit or a non-refundable waiver, which offers immediate coverage for up to £250 in accidental damages — without any claims hassles.
Setting New Safety Standards in Short-Term Rentals
With increasing regulatory pressures and rising expectations around guest verification, SafeGuest’s tool offers a timely solution for hosts wanting to operate securely and confidently.
“The future of short lets depends on trust — and trust starts with knowing who’s staying in your property,” added Birks. “We built SafeGuest to empower hosts, not charge them for peace of mind.”
